This property has been on Booking.com since Jun 9, 2006.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

If you are travelling as a tourist it may be better to get a hotel somewhere more central. Also, the area is quite noisy, but as long as you keep your window closed at night this should be ok. All in all I was very happy.

I was here on business, however I was extremely happy, the bed was comfortable, there was free wifi, staff are very helpful and the breakfast buffet is fantastic! There is a big mall about a ten minute walk away which was great for my free time in the evenings and public transportation near by (2 metros about a 10-15 min walk away). The hotel has a nice pool, which I did not use as I was there for business, as well as a spa and salon .

I stayed multiple times during my 3 week trip to Turkey. I am very pleased with the hotel staff treatment from the bell boys to the front desK reception. That was important to me more than the rooms as either make your stay or break it. Thank you Surmeli Hotel for the great stay and treatment. I recommend it this hotel for everyone!!!

Location was not perfect in relation to public transportation and the hotel is not shown on the city map available at the Reception Desk.
There were no Kleenex tissues in the room, you had to ask for them!

Good room size, but not for a 5*-hotel they claim to be. Clean and quiet, good breakfast and friendly staff.
